Title: Systems for purging a carrier
Inventor: FOSNIGHT WILLIAM J
IPC: F16K51/02
Filed: 2000-02-09
Granted: 2001-08-11
Abstract: A valve seated within a SMIF pod support platform is disclosed for activating and deactivating the flow of gas to a pod on the platform. In preferred embodiments, the valve includes a central poppet capable of moving between a first, closed position where the poppet blocks the flow of gas through the valve, and a second, open position where the poppet allows gas flow through the valve. In the absence of a pod on the support platform, pressurized gas from the gas source downstream of the valve biases the poppet into the first position to thereby block gas flow. In this first position, a top portion of the poppet extends slightly above the upper surface of the pod support platform. When a pod is seated on the support platform, the weight of the pod moves the poppet from its first position to its second position where gas is allowed to flow through the valve and into the pod to allow purging of the pod.

Title: Method for integrally forming bullet-proof helmet blank
Inventor: JOU SHENG-SHIAN
IPC: F41H1/04
Filed: 2000-06-08
Granted: 2001-02-21
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for integrally forming bullet-proof helmet blank, that mainly uses an enhanced fibrous weave and resin weave with fibrils of 400 to 3000 Deniels, that is pre-bathed or coated to form a thin film at a constant temperature so as roll into a composite fibrous weave. This composite fibrous weave is trimmed into equally-divided rectangular pieces that are interlaced and laminated to one another at an appropriate angle, so as to form a rounded, laminated body constructed of a plurality of diverging angles. The body is then shaped into a bowl using a dome-shaped mold such that when the rectangular, composite fibrous pieces are arranged in an interlaced and laminated manner, enhanced fibrous pieces can be placed at appropriate locations of the composite, fibrous body so as to increase the rigidity of the specific locations after the helmet is formed. Further, the laminated and bowl-shaped composite, fibrous body is pressed by a bowl-shaped mold under a high pressure and high temperature so as to form a fibrous shell blank having a close and tight texture. The edges of the diverging angles are also trimmed about the periphery of the final product.

Title: Organic electroluminescent device
Inventor: HUIBERTS JOHANNES NICOLAAS
IPC: G01R31/26
Filed: 2000-10-19
Granted: 2004-01-11
Abstract: The invention provides a tool to select reliable organic LED devices, where the risk for failure before the end of its lifetime is low. This tool comprises the steps of: (i) subjecting the device to a high electric field over the electroluminescent layer. This leads to a division of the devices into two, clearly separated, populations, namely one population with a low leakage current (current through the electroluminescent layer in reverse voltage operation) and one population with a high leakage current. In this step, the first population is selected in accordance with a current criterion. (ii) Detecting instabilities in the leakage current, referred to as noise. It has been established that these instabilities arise in particular at reverse driving voltages between 1 and 10 Volts. These instabilities are a measure of the occurrence of early failures during operation. In this step, the devices are selected in accordance with a noise criterion.

Granted: 2003-02-01
Abstract: A camera system includes a camera embedded in or otherwise associated with a creature-like anthropomorphic representation having controllable features. The features are controlled such that particular configurations of the features are indicative of an operating state of the camera system. The camera may be, e.g., a zoom camera embedded in an eye or other feature of the representation. In an illustrative embodiment, the representation includes a head and a body, and the controllable features are facial features, e.g., a controllable pair of eyebrows, a controllable pair of eyelids, and a controllable mouth. The controllable features may be implemented using, e.g., mechanical motor controls or screen-based animation controls. Pan and tilt controls are also provided for the head of the anthropomorphic representation, such that the embedded camera has pan, tilt and zoom capability. The system may include additional cameras, e.g., video presence cameras, so as to provide a variety of different camera angles. The controllable features of the anthropomorphic representation are adjusted in accordance with an interaction protocol which specifies particular configurations of the features for corresponding operating states of the camera system, thereby providing a natural and easy-to-understand user interface.

Title: Pressure adjustment apparatus for ink-jet pen
Inventor: SHIU DE-RUNG
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2000-12-11
Granted: 2002-12-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure adjustment apparatus for ink-jet pen and includes a flexible air bag, a linear spring, and an air-make-up device. The flexible air bag is located inside an ink-jet pen and opens to the atmosphere through an air hole. When the ink inside the ink-jet pen is gradually consumed, the flexible air bag sucks air from the atmosphere through the air hole into the air bag to slowly expand the flexible air bag. The first end of the linear spring is connected to the bottom of the flexible air bag. During the expansion of the flexible air bag, the linear spring is stretched and the contracting force of the linear spring drives the flexible air bag to shrink so to maintain a stable back pressure inside the ink-jet pen. If the back pressure inside the ink-jet pen continues increasing when the flexible air bag has expanded to its saturation, the air make-up device will make up the air towards the ink-jet pen to maintain a stable back pressure inside the ink-jet pen. Thus, any ink leakage from the printer head can be avoided and normal ink supply continues.

Title: Polymer collar for solder bumps
Inventor: ELENIUS PETER
IPC: B23K3/06
Filed: 2001-09-21
Granted: 2003-02-11
Abstract: A method of forming a polymer support ring, or collar, around the base of solder balls used to form solder joints includes forming patterned regions of uncured polymer material over each of the conductive solder bump pads on an IC package or other substrate to which the solder balls are to be attached. Preferably, the uncured polymer material is a no-flow underfill material that fluxes the solder bump pads.
